Back In The USA
Some observations about Delta Airlines from a trip to Germany.
• Delta Airlines has very friendly service and pretty decent food. The "extras" on the plane--video service and so forth--left a great deal to be desired. Overall, I wouldn't be adverse to flying Delta to Europe again, but I'd try to book United, SAS, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, or any number of other carriers first.

Delta Airlines Screws Musicians.
I've been flying with my guitar for well over 10 years, and have never been forced to check it. Checking an old archtop would surely destroy it.
Checking in at La Guardia on my way to a show in Atlanta, I was forced to buy a seat for my irreplaceable 50 year old guitar at the last minute. First offer: Only $1020.00. The hostile, rude counter jockey in the faux military uniform finally got me a seat for well over $650.00.
He claimed it was a security issue, but security just x-rayed the case. Never even asked me to open it. Every security person I spoke to (and I spoke with plenty) were shocked, and said they had absolutely no problem with guitars. As a matter of fact, over the past 10+ years, no security personnel have had any problem with my guitar, here or in Europe.
Delta is pretending it's a security issue, but it's clearly not.
They're using 9/11 as an excuse to steal from musicians.
